Be sure to share the name and location of this dam. Maybe some other interesting fact(s) about it.


Center Hill Dam forms, you guessed it, Center Hill Lake.  :D  This one is in the Caney Fork River and about two miles south of Buffalo Valley, TN. It's a Army Corps of Engineers dam.

Blue Hole Lake on Mill Creek.

I've put in right below the dam and paddled down to the Mulberry River from there a couple times. Takes high water right after a rain.
